1999: Bush demands TIMETABLE for withdrawal of US troops from Kosovo |
|
Speaker: President George W. Bush Title: Statement on Kosovo Accord Location: Bush for President Date: 06/04/1999
....
Third, once they are returned to their homes, the Kosovars must be protected by an international peacekeeping force with NATO at its core. Any United States forces involved must be under United States or NATO command. The President should also lay out a timetable for how long American troops will be involved and when they will be removed. If a residual force is needed, it is important that over time United States troops are withdrawn and our European allies assume most of the responsibility.

No one claimed he was president when he said it, nor does it matter. If timetables for troop pullouts are good, they are good. If they are bad, they are bad.
The man is a hypocrite.

6. if you notice the header, it says president george bush, that's what. and |
|
yes, we all know the man is a lying, conniving hypocrite, but let us not make him any more important than he is.
I would have loved to hear him try to give that speech, considering how poor his command of the language is--he didn't even know where kosovo was then, he had absolutely NO clue about foreign affairs at all. so why was he giving that speech, and where?
